I have had dozens upon dozens of vehicles painted due to wrecks or vandalism and they never come out perfect. You can never match the quality of factory paint, I don' t care if you had Jesus Christ himself did the work, it would not be right. Even if they do color match it correctly, it won't be the same texture (orange peel will not match), and it won't be near as durable. Sorry about that because you are in for a nightmare on your car.

so it'll chip and wear quicker??? I find it hard to believe that a good shop can't fix a bumper. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
